Where to get images for your design?

[MRizwan530]

As a graphic designer, you will be needing a lot of images, illustrations, vector images, etc. for your designs. It is not possible to create everything you want by yourself, you need to outsource your images, illustrations, etc. If you are a pro, you already know where you can get the images you want. However, if you are just starting you might be looking for recommendations. Here are a couple of sites where you can find anything you wnat.
Stock Photo: It is one of the most popular stock photo libraries. However, this is a paid service. Once you buy the image you wnat, you have all rights including commercial rights
Pixabay: This is a free site, no subscription fees, no pay per image fee. However, if you want you can tip the image creator.
Pixels: This is also a free site, but for better images you need to pay.
FreePik: This is my ideal choice. Even though this is a free platform, you need to pay to access premium serrvices. You can find anything on this site, from, images, illustrations, vector images, even psd files (photoshop documents)

Mostly I need graphics for my YouTube channel and I am making thumbnails on canva and also if I need some plagiarized free images then I always go to unsplash.com this website is providing copyright free images on every topic you can download it freely

Thanks so much for this piece of information. I have always used pictures sourced from google and most times they don’t actually give the right site to get specific pictures needed for the job. This is really awesome and I’m gonna check the sites out, the fact they are free and accessible to everyone is a plus. Thanks to this platform I got this info and thanks to the person that posted the thread.

In the event that you need to turn into an expert designer, you should likewise realize that pictures from free photograph locales are being utilized broadly. Unmistakably utilized pictures probably won't be enjoyed by your customers. All things considered, you may need to purchase stock pictures.

This is very useful and educative especially for beginners in graphic designs like myself. I will try as much as possible to visit the free image platforms you have just mentioned. Graphic design is a bit difficult for me, I don't know if it's just because I am still learning a whole lot of things.

Now I have come to understand that as a professional graphic designer to get beautiful image in my website I don't have to create on myself, I have to get it in other website.

If it's possible to start from scratch and build your images for your design work, it's even the best in my opinion because the image would be yours alone.

Although most of these images are protected by copyright there are still millions and thousands of images online which are not copyright protected their she can actually use in your graphic work.

This is a great list of sites for bloggers who are also looking for pictures.

I've worked with both pixels, pixabay and stock photos but not Freepik. There are times I need vector images to suit my post. This will come in handy.

I have used pictures from Pixabay and Pexels for my free website. I remember creating a website using weebly and I used images from Pixabay. The problem is that you just cannot use images from such websites if you are wanting to create a professional website. Some professional websites do use pictures from Pixabay. But mostly people buy images from Shutterstock.

Most pictures that are used for online design works are available for free download and used for any kind of online design work. I do get some of my images from Getty images.
